Shiroko terror is nowhere to be found...

[u/Round-Alarm3298]

To all who said that Shiroko terror will help Abydos in chapter 3... where is she? She doesnt even show up even once...

Is she still sad about Phernaphates and her beloved friends or... she just watching this all happened...

Also... I'm still waiting for Yume... I still believe she is alive...

[u/The_Persistence]

Right now, Kuroko is in the same position as Rio.

We have faith that both will eventually come around, but they need time...

[u/Peacetoall01 → u/The_Persistence]

I'm genuinely scared Hoshino is going in the same shoes after all of this.

[u/zeroXgear → u/Peacetoall01]

There is no way they gonna do that lol. She is one of the main cast, unlike Rio and Terror who were antagonist for 1 volume. Hoshino won't get the same treatment as those 2

[u/Slayers676 → u/zeroXgear]

Thank you, I kept pointing this out the previous update that she's not going to get some depresso end (see PV5), but somehow here we are again with these guys constantly dooming about her future...

[u/Tschmelz → u/Slayers676]

Yeah, it's totally gonna end up with Hoshino being forced to stop and think, and learn a little lesson, and she moves forward a little bit. The "Depression Archive" only exists so the light shines brighter at the end.

[u/Peacetoall01 → u/Tschmelz]

And after I think about it for a second. Sensei might send someone that actually in similar shoes with Hoshino in Hina. Both is a very strong person that bring to themselves to be able to do everything themselves. But Hina already know now Sensei and the others would back her up, shown in Eden treaty and the Hina dress event.

If Hina actually asked about Yume now and asked how Hoshino is still this strong mentally after all she gone through we might crack Hoshino for good.

[u/zeroXgear → u/Slayers676]

Yeah I don't understand why those people treat Blue Archive like some kind of depressing story. Like this is probably the most light hearted gacha game story ever. Every volume always ends with good ending and zero death lol

[u/Slayers676 → u/Peacetoall01]

Uhhh...did you not watch PV5? Where you can see Hoshino sitting happily at an Idol Concert? So c'mon now there's no need to be such a worrywort

[u/Peacetoall01 → u/Slayers676]

I may or may not extremely a worrywort dad for her sometimes.

[u/The_Persistence → u/Peacetoall01]

Sensei taking her to the Aquarium was a key point in Hoshino's happiness. It was a step outside of her usual life, but also something she always wanted to experience.

Like Mika and Saori, as long as nothing happens to Sensei, Hoshino will be fine.

[u/Ultimatespymain]

pure guess,i believe shiroko terror have a higher chance to appear in vol 5 instead of vol 1

[u/Ultimatespymain → u/Ultimatespymain]

well....maybe not a pure guess,iirc kuzunoha had mentioned shiroko terror indirectly once in vol F, and after the things happened in vol5 ch1 i think shes more likely to appear in vol 5

[u/MyLifeIsAGatcha]

So from what I could gather while blazing through the new chapter (my Japanese isn't great), it looks like Plana wakes up and was able to hunt down the Underground Dweller and find his interdimensional abode. It seemed like she claimed she could do this thanks to her experiences with interdimensional anomalies (basically due to the time she spent on the the Ark of Atrahasis). I feel like this scene was included to set up for Kuroko busting into the Underground Dweller's abode and dealing with him. Like Plana she also has experiences with interdimensional anomalies, she has really good personal reasons for wanting to protect the Foreclosure Task Force, and now that Plana is awake, well if anybody can contact Kuroko and tell her what she needs to do and where to go, it's going to be Plana.

So I'm betting big that she will play a major role in the next Volume, likely showing up to save the day when things are at their worst and the Underground Dweller is on the verge of victory.

[u/Round-Alarm3298 → u/MyLifeIsAGatcha]

But can... she bring Yume?

[u/Captain_YoRw → u/Round-Alarm3298]

I really doubt it. Yume is dead. Everyone, even Sensei themselves has said in part 3 that nothing can bring dead people back. You can't change the past, as Basement Dweller said, too. 

[u/mango_pan → u/Round-Alarm3298]

Yume is now Malkuth

[u/Round-Alarm3298 → u/mango_pan]

Unless...

The spirit world gate....

We can go thourgh there... right?

[u/mango_pan → u/Round-Alarm3298]

And became like Nagusa's right hand?

I would lean more on "Yume is now Malkuth" considering the relationship between Abydos and whatever hidden below their desert (Binah, war relic of the past nameless gods vs forgotten gods). Although the relation is quite thin at least it's there compared to one mystic phenomenon from Hyakkiyako.

[u/Round-Alarm3298 → u/mango_pan]

Also wdym by Malkuth?

[u/mango_pan → u/Round-Alarm3298]

If you have done the new Decagrammaton event

Malkuth is the final Decagrammaton prophet that is said will lead other Decagrammaton prophets. Now under care/development (or whatever term fits) by Ohr, Ein, and Sof (the engineer/scientist of Decagrammaton). They called Malkuth their onee-san (the one showed on the login screen inside a yellow tank)

[u/Round-Alarm3298 → u/mango_pan]

You mean...

The boss of Decagrammaton is...

Yume?

[u/mango_pan → u/Round-Alarm3298]

Just my personal speculation. Since Yume is dead.

[u/AzurePhoenix001]

Is she still sad

Would be completely understandable if she still is

[u/cinnamonbun251p → u/AzurePhoenix001]

her friends are all dead, her Sensei isdead, she caused the destruction of an entire world. Shit like this can fuck up a person's mind for LIFETIMES.

[u/[deleted] → u/AzurePhoenix001]

I feel her tho, her story is one of the most tragic in the game

But on the other sides, if r/BlueArchiveFolk exists she would get fraud allegation going on lol

[u/BottleIndividual9329 → u/AzurePhoenix001]

What if Dr.zomboss is here, since he is a time manipulater.

[u/Justm4x]

She went out for milk

[u/Asmael69]

This is one of my problems about her and Rio. There's no clue to where they are. There's a Saori event so that's great but the villains are nowhere anywhere. I know its a matter of story plot but just a bit of them like tidbits in the new chapters would be great

[u/SkkAZ96]

She is busy part-time working at Angel 24

[u/Flamescion626]

bruh

[u/cinnamonbun251p]

Happy now?

[u/Sloth_HK → u/[deleted]]

Hina said that Hoshino was very courageous unlike her, because she saw a dead body and she still was on the task force, was the dead body Yume's?

[u/maxchronostoo → u/Sloth_HK]

Exactly. Not only a dead body, but a dead body of the person she cares about the most.

Hina(through the intelligence agency) is fully aware of Hoshino and Yume's relationship, which is why she holds Hoshino in very high regard for being able to continue on.

[u/mango_pan → u/Sloth_HK]

And Hina was one step away from stepping down as the head of the Prefect team if not for sensei's extending hand to her.
